He was an inmate of Blackgate Prison, and was shipped to Arkham after a mysterious fire at Blackgate. Razor is first seen when the prisoners lock Aaron Cash and a doctor in a Joker-gas infected room. One of them mentions that Razor is still in there. Joker remarks, "He was too slow." When Batman goes up through the ventilation system and enters the room flooded with gas, he sees an inmate, presumably Razor, struggling on a line. Batman is forced to cut Razor down to get to the control panel. Razor somehow survives, as when Batman re-enters Intensive Treatment, Razor and a group of other henchmen are finishing up wiring the gargoyles with bombs. As Razor is finishing up his assigned gargoyle, Joker "tests" the bombs, knocking Razor off of the gargoyle.

Razor is mentioned by some thugs to have been killed by Penguin after attempting to join his gang. When Penguin found out that Razor used to work for the Joker, Penguin dropped Razor into a pool of boiling water and razor blades.

It is arguable, and in fact likely, that the Razor that Penguin killed is different than the one in the asylum, due to the fact that when you use Detective Mode on Razor when he is knocked off the gargoyle, it says he is deceased. Due to this, it is possible that "Razor" is a common street name, and thus not a very unique nickname. However, it is mentioned that the Razor in Arkham City worked for the Joker at some point.
